CaviWipes are a standard in clinical settings for disinfecting non-porous surfaces, featuring a 3-minute dwell time for many pathogens. The 160-count canister is made of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) with a polypropylene lid. The wipes themselves are a low-linting synthetic blend designed to hold the cleaning solution without dripping. Because the formula contains 17.2% isopropanol, a high-quality vapor seal is necessary to prevent the wipes from drying out over the course of the 160-wipe count.
Usage & Compatibility
The wipes are safe for use on many plastics and stainless steel, and they produce less respiratory irritation than trigger sprays. However, the high alcohol content can leave streaks on glass surfaces. The polypropylene hinge on the lid may show signs of fatigue after about 100 uses. For the best seal, users should listen for an audible "click" when closing the lid; failing to do so can significantly increase the evaporation rate. Additionally, the star-shaped dispensing orifice can tear the wipes if they are pulled at an angle greater than 45 degrees.
If you are looking for a botanical alternative for use around food, the Seventh Generation Disinfecting Wipes use thymol as an active ingredient.
